Taking my first sick day

My friends have convinced me not to go to work today. They said I should think about my co-workers and stay home and get better. I don’t feel too bad. I think I have a slight fever since I feel pretty hot inside the apartment. My nose is bit runny and I do have a slight cough. It could be a lot worse. Actually, my roommates wanted me to stay home yesterday so I could nip this sickness in the butt. I felt bad to not show up on a Monday so I went in and did my thing. Then I asked if I could leave early since I wasn’t feeling very well. My boss is great and let me go early. ) Anyway, I took a nap from 9:30 am to 1 pm. Isn’t that a little bit crazy? I was waiting for the Ellen Degeneres show (that starts at 10 am), but the time it came out I was pretty much out.

I’m not sure if all this sleeping is needed for my body to fight this sickness. I really just hope I’m way better tomorrow so I can go to work. I feel like I’m playing hooky by skipping work today! I’m not even sure why I am sick. (

Okay, well I better go have some more soup. shock

  1. it’s all this crazy weather. i don’t know about the NY, but up here in Toronto, the weather’s been inconsistent. i never know what to wear so i either freeze or boil when mother nature gets a midday mood swing.

    feel better!

  2. We just talked about this today. In my 5 years as a teacher this is the first time I have not called in sick within the first couple months of school. Actually, I havent been sick since the school year started. I always seem to catch colds from kids, but this year has been different. *knocks on wood*

  3. I did’t too long ago just start my job…and already want to take a sick day.. my nose starting too act up a little, too

    get well, soon…:thoughtful:

    AND NO MORE PLAYING HOOKEY! lol
